Thank you for reporting. I grew up in Oklahoma City and neither I nor my friends who grew up in Tulsa knew about the Black Wall Street massacre until fairly recently- absolutely shameful!
I had to look for information on it when I saw it on Substack! Then I’ve had to go back a couple more times to try to find updates as to the shooter(s) being caught. I don’t think that has happened yet.
It’s what, five or six days later, and this is the first I’ve read of this. Yes, the media is ignoring it, but we have to be honest, trump sucks up all the oxygen when it comes to news. They report it badly, but his (and their) objective is to keep him “above the fold” as it used to be called.
If it wasn’t for Substack I wouldn’t know about this. I stopped watching mainstream media years ago and only come here for news from wonderful journalists like yourselves. Please keep us updated if you hear anything. I’m afraid this is going to be the norm. Like my husband says, if it’s a white extremist the media is going to try and keep that quiet.
This is the first time I’ve heard of this tragedy. I am angry, and very sorry your family and community continue to suffer from bigotry and ignorance. Peace be with your spirits.

YOU BET! FAUX NOOZ would be using it as a distraction from tRump's failures and would be blaming an Iranian "Sleeper Cell" and would be blamming Biden for "letting them in!"
I'm really fucking angry I don't know about this. Damn MSM and even internet media! I'm sorry for everyone who lost or became involved in this.

And by the way, I’m 72 so that’s a lot of years of not knowing.
Many people didn’t learn about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre until they became adults.
Make me feel so small and stupid.
It ought to be taught in Oklahoma history in schools.
It ought to be taught in American history across the nation!
Yes!

That’s correct, @Nonnax5. The shooter is still on the loose. The police and FBI are looking for him.
Any updates?
The shorter has been detained. https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/06/25/arrest-made-in-juneteenth-mass-shooting-that-killed-young-father/

I’m glad your friends and family are well.
You’re 💯 correct. He’s trying to distract as usual.

This post is the first I’ve heard of it. This is deeply troubling.
All this hate from the president and his administration. Racist think they can say stuff to people but they can get popped in the mouth to

Oh no!
I have no doubt it would have received much more coverage if it had happened at a white event. Makes me angry.

Time to spread the news.
Horrifying! This should have been broadcast across media.
